We've got some handy tips and dandy ideas to make your manuscript stand out in the slush pile. Kick in the door of children's book publishing (okay\, maybe not so violent) with the help of someone who's worked on both sides of the publisher/author fence.\n \n2. Jennifer Maruno\n Turning Real Facts into Real Fiction\n Historical fiction is just an imaginative re-creation of the past...or is it? Shouldn't the author involve the reader in a bygone era with more than just real facts? What are the creative keys that turn back time as the story moves forward? Jennifer will help you discover them.\n \n3. Kady MacDonald Denton\n The Lightbulb Syndrome\n \nMaster Class for Illustrators\n A Governor General Award winning illustrator will guide you through some exercises and suggestions to help illuminate common problems and capture the ah-ha moments of picture book illustration.\n \n4. Lizann Flatt\n Nonsense and Non-Fiction: The Intersection of Fact\, Fun and Fascination\n Think you can't write non-fiction? Nonsense! Think non-fiction won't allow you to use your creative talents? Nonsense! In this workshop we'll explore today's no-nonsense non-fiction market and learn how to give your ideas or manuscripts that mix of fact and fun (or fascination) to appeal to today's trade publishers.\n \nSession B 11:05 – 12:25 Choose one of 5\, 6\, 7\, 8\n \n5. Aubrey Davis\n Pigs Wallow\, People Write: Picture Books\n Aubrey Davis uses oral storytelling to write picture books. After all\, humans are storytelling creatures. But what else are we?

Barbara Greenwood\n ReVisioning: That All Important Second Look\n \nMaster Class for Writers\n\n You've finally written the last word of a short story or novel. What now? Smart writers know how to look at their manuscripts with an editor's eye. This workshop will take you through the steps needed to put a professional polish on that rough first draft.\n \n7. Ty Templeton\n The Language of Comics\n Comics are only the visual art form meant to be read and\, as such\, have a language and syntax all their own. Through composition\, body language and flow of imagery\, this workshop will teach you everything you need to know to speak this complex visual language.\n \n8. Sylvia McNicoll\n Teen Talk: Voicing Your YA Novel\n Sylvia McNicoll speaks teen in ten countries with over 30 books. Join her to explore the effects of different viewpoints and tenses. Try on some voices to find one that suits your story best.

Lorna Nicholson\n The Super Series: Writing Middle Grade Fiction\n Children love it when their favourite characters are Series Stars.

Come learn some of the tricks she uses to write her Super Series.\n \n10. R. J. Anderson\n Get (Un)Real: Writing Authentic Fantasy and Science Fiction\n How do you write fantasy or SF that will stand out and grab readers' attention?

Karen Reczuch\n Illustrating Facts Is Fun – Or Is That Fiction?\n Does illustrating non-fiction rein you in? Veteran illustrator Karen argues that sticking to the facts may actually set your creativity loose! Using examples from her work in both fiction and non-fiction\, Karen will discuss the challenges and pleasures of both genres\, and perhaps help you discover which area best suits you.\n \n12.
